Motiva Refinery in Port Arthur Begins to Roar Back After Harvey Shutdown
Motiva's Port Arthur refinery, the nation's largest, is beginning to restart and should be partially operational at the beginning of next week, Motiva Enterprises said Tuesday.
Hurricane Harvey knocked out more than 20 percent of the nation's fuel production at oil refineries, causing price spikes and some fuel shortages. The last hit by Harvey, those in Beaumont and Port Arthur, could be the last to return, but some already are beginning the methodical restart processes.
Saudi-Arabia-based Motiva said it hopes to have operations restored to 40 percent by Monday. And 40 percent of the Port Arthur refinery can churn out more fuel than many other refineries at 100 percent. The refinery processes more than 600,000 barrels of oil a day at full capacity.
